Jim,

Thanks for the comment on my casket shaped box. While it is a “real changing shape for a first attempt”, there are a few of reasons for that being the case.
1. When I got out of rough framing and in to building decks and arbors, I had a GREAT teacher. Out of the many, many, many jobs that we did, maybe two of them were a basic design and we found them to be somewhat boring.
2. When ever I get into something, I tend to dive in head first.
3. They say that necessity is the mother of all invention…. Well, hormones must be the evil step-mother. I was hanging out and talking with some friends of mine (one of them a very beautiful young lady with a casket shaped purse) and we decided that a casket shaped box would be pretty cool. Well, it worked and we dated for a while.

-- Cheers and God Bless

looks sharp, very cool!

Man, I’m jealous. My first box was, well, square. It looked very nice, though. Will post some pics when I get around to it.

WOW!!!!!!!!! Nice work. How did you make MDF look so good? What did you paint it with. I have made things out of MDF and the didn’t take paint that well. What’s your secret????
